SWEET Remember the camera!

Very nice looking!

I jump in.... I don't think we need a forum devoted to electronics anymore than we need a forum devoted to plumbing. Here few reasons I turn to the internet; problems, suggestions and social. All the mechanical, electrical and systems issues could go into a "Problems" catagory. If someone is thinking of adding a new wigit to his boat and wants feedback, that could go into "Suggestions". What do you all think about this approach?

I also had a weather problem crop up after the music issue. I would get a "no signal" indicator on the E120. I now was not able to get either weather or music. The SR100's green light was flashing so I thought that was not the issue. Solution found. I emailed Raymarine. They suggested I hook up another known working antenna to rule out the SR100 as the problem before I send the SR100 back to them. I had a new antenna, so I hooked it up and it worked fine. A friend of mine who rigs electronics said that it's probably the wire. When they run wires through the pipe they can rub enough to destroy the insulation over time. I'll pull a new wire and hook it up in a week or so. My guess is that the intermittent signal on Sirius music is due to a bad wire also. There is a separate antenna and wire for the music side. I bet that wire is about to fail totally also. I'll run one antenna through the SR100 and hook up an audio cable from that to my stereo. That should solve the music issue too.

Don't be fooled. It's not a Democrat vs. Republican issue. The beginnings of this garbage were evident in the bush administration. It's all being driven by radical enviro groups, with big money. The Pew foundation is in the process of closing fishing in Australia. Don't believe me? Still think this is fear mongering? Take a look at the article is a respected Sport fishing magazine. http://www.sportfishingmag.com/blog.jsp?cmpid=enews092309 Still, this must be media hipe, right? Well this is from The White House. http://www.whitehouse.gov/assets/documents...orce_FINAL2.pdf Notice the use of the phrase "the best available science" That is the same nonsence, or non-science that they are using now to close Grouper fishing this winter and the same non-science the SAMFC is using to close red snapper fishing for 35 years. This is all happening now. There was an act of congress. The Fed Task force will use that as well as the power of the executive order. Your freedom to fish is being taken.

Feds to 60 Million American Anglers: We don't need you!!!! IRVINE, Calif. USA – October 5, 2009 – A recently published administration document outlines a structure that could result in closures of sport fishing in salt and freshwater areas across America. The White House created an Interagency Oceans Policy Task Force in June and gave them only 90 days to develop a comprehensive federal policy for all U.S. coastal, ocean and Great Lakes waters. Under the guise of ‘protecting’ these areas, the current second phase of the Task Force direction is to develop zoning which may permanently close vast areas of fishing waters nationwide. This is to be completed by December 9, 2009. Dave Pfeiffer, President of Shimano American Corporation explained, “In spite of extensive submissions from the recreational fishing community to the Task Force in person and in writing, they failed to include any mention of the over one million jobs or the 6o million anglers which may be affected by the new policies coast to coast. Input from the environmental groups who want to put us off the water was adopted into the report verbatim – the key points we submitted as an industry were ignored.” Recreational fishing generates a $125 billion annual economy in the United States and supports jobs in every state according to government figures. Through the Sport Fish Restoration program, anglers have provided more than $5 billion through excise taxes on fishing tackle to fishery conservation and education for decades. In addition to the economic aspects, anglers lead the nation in volunteer conservation efforts on behalf of improving fish habitat, water quality and related environmental areas. “There was no mention of the fishery conservation efforts which anglers have led for over 50 years in every state – an environmental success story that has no equal in the world”, said Phil Morlock, Director, Environmental Affairs for Shimano. “The Task Force did not make any distinction between the dramatic differences between harmful commercial fishing harvest methods and recreational fishing, even though we spelled it out for them in detail,” added Morlock. Claiming to be the result of a public consultation process the report states, “Having considered a broad range of public comments, this report reflects the requests and concerns of all interested parties.” The original White House memo and not surprisingly the Task Force report contains multiple references to developing a national policy where Great Lakes and coastal regions are managed, “consistent with international law, including customary international law as reflected in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea” - a 300-page treaty the U.S. has never ratified. “We question what implications there will be for state authority and jurisdiction in the Great Lakes and coastal regions if the U.S. adopts the U.N. Treaty,” said Pfeiffer. The report makes it clear that future authority for implementing the policy for coastal and inland waters will fall under White House jurisdiction with a new National Ocean Council comprised of over 20 federal agencies at Cabinet Secretary or Deputy Secretary level. No reference to Congressional jurisdiction is indicated. “This significant change in U.S. policy direction is the result of a 90-day fire drill process as ordered by the President that, not surprisingly, lacks balance, clarity and quality in the end product,” said Morlock. “People who simply want to take their kids fishing on public waters deserve better from their government,” he added. Shimano is joining with other members of the recreational fishing industry to urge anglers to contact their members of Congress and the administration to request this process be required to adopt the economic, conservation and social contributions of recreational fishing as key elements of the policy. It is critical that we ensure Congressional oversight and state jurisdiction and management continues. E-letters can be sent to the administration and members of Congress by visiting http://keepamericafishing.org/ The future of fishing is in your hands.

I'm really happy with my new spinner. I fish for snapper/grouper, pitch baits to cobia, sails, and mahi and fish for big snook down at Stuart FL. It has become my all around tackle.

I went to my mechanic a year ago, asking the same question. I thought I wanted Michelin tires before I talked to him. He suggested The Yokohama Geo tires. I did and they are very nice on my Chevy 2500HD. My mechanic suggested Tire Rack, because they had a better price than he could get locally. His shop was an authorized installer for Tire Rack. I had the tires shipped to the shop. It was a very easy process.

Nice color combo. Go for it!

I know some people who have done it. It make take more than one day, so plan on an over night at some marina. Also call ahead to make sure all the locks are open. They close them for repairs sometimes. Sorry, I don't have any phone numbers for you, but others should chime in.

When I lived up north (Illinois), shrink wrap was the way to go if you wanted to work on the boat during the winter. It was relatively warm inside the bubble. Shrink wrap also handled the snow and wind better than tarps. I never had to repair or re-cover shrink wrap. I do recall having to re-do those tarps. It was not much fun, as I recall. I finally had a custom cloth (canvas I think) storage cover made. It was more expensive than shrink wrap the first year, but the investment paid back by the second year. That might be worth looking into.

Wiley, Sorry for your loss.

I'd guess that you were not making oil. either too much oil was put in, or the oil was measured just afer lowering the motors from their full tilt position without running the motors. I drop my motors and then run them before I read the dip stick. Also, double dip that dip stick and read it after the second dipping. You can have an air bubble in the tube on the first dip that can give a false reading.

Reduced to $70

I bet that pilot hose is air conditioned; sweet! How many will it seat?

I am selling this radio to go to a more expensive radio that will give me NMEA OUT as well as the normal NMEA IN. The radio is in great shape and, of course, it works. It comes with the sun cover and flush mounting hardware (no bracket mount). SOLD

Check out this free version of Advanced System Care. I started with the free version, but a month later I went to the paid version. The paid version does the maintenance routine automatically. http://download.cnet.com/Advanced-SystemCa....html?tag=mncol This does a lot more than clean up your hard drive. The registry cleaner function will put some speed back in your system. I've used this product for 6 months now. Before this product I had two others. This one is the best I have found. BTW I have no connection to the company other than as a happy customer.

I agree with Florida. No one makes a great sabiki rod. With rod storage space at a premium with 4 fishermen on board, 4 single purpose rods are a waste of space. Add to that they are heavy and have very little flex and you have one bad bait fishing set up.

That's a hog We don't target them unless we have friends from the North come down to fish. I enjoy watching the look on the face of a fresh water fisherman as the fight begins. Reef Donkey indeed!

If you are referring to the woodruff key in the water bump assembly, they are difficult to remove, but I did not have to drill and tapp. I just grabbed the key with nippers and banged away.

Looks like a winner OK all you Woody experts, what's the best way to apply this stuff? Squirt directly on the deck? What say you?

Not bustin your balls, but I should correct your information incase others take it at face value. You are wrong about the terminology used in policies. Market Value = replacement value. In the event of a total loss they look up the market value of the boat at the time of the loss. Every year your boat value depreciates, so the value of the claim decreases each year. Agreed Value is the amount on the policy, regardless of the market value at the time of the loss. That "agreed value" is established at the beginning of your policy. On new boats its the cost of the boat. Used boat values are established and agreed to at the beginning of the policy too. The "agreed value" is the market value at the inception of the policy. The insurance company will often require a survey to establish the market value. If they agree to insure you today for 100K and you have a total loss in 2013, they will pay 100K. This will be paid even if your boat is only worth 80K in 2013. I think Kingair wanted a policy that would cover the loss of his boat at today's market value, but based on the fact that it has been re-built or refurbished. The insurance company has their book with used boat market values, but they don't have a way to value a used, but refurbished boat. That book does not exist. Kigair should pay for a survey and then bring it to an independent agent. That agent will get quotes based on the value the surveyor assigns. Then he should buy the "Agreed Value" coverage to avoid being paid less at claim time.
